RE: Changes for 09'
I could have almost cut and paste one of Trevor's responses. I'm on my way in for one of my final sits of the year, but I definitely burned myself out a bit this year. I think I'm closing in on 130 sits on stand this year.
Next year, I think I won't go as much early on when the temps are marginal, and I'll switch to trapping in December. I'm already SUPER excited about putting up a bunch of fur next year!

Do you not like the Rage? I'd heard good things, and was considering using them.

1. replacing the hostage rest with a QAD dropaway
2. replacing my cabelas arrows with Trophy Ridge Hailfires
3. replacing the nocks with Tune-a-nock speed nocks
also shooting shorter lighter arrows and hopefully gaining around 15 fps or more.

Yep I had a bad experience, had good arrow placement at 8 yds on the biggest buck I have ever had in range. After that I dont know what happened, but I do know he isnt hanging up on my wall of fame.

RE: Changes for 09'
Keep doing what I am doing and book more hunts out of state and afford to do it by staying single. I have EVERYTHING imaginable for bowhunting. Setting good that way.
Edit: Muzzy just reminded me I need a game cart.And I am building a Heater Body suit, maybe get a chrono..I just bought brand new digital Archery scale off of a guy on AT that sells them to your door for $19.00 so I can weigh arrows and broadheads.I already use A/C/C arrows and am going to buy their new prohunter or whatever it is called
